Same-day discharge after elective PCI is a safe, cost-effective strategy that improves patient satisfaction and hospital bed availability when implemented with proper protocols.
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) became the most frequent modality of revascularization to treat coronary artery disease. Historically, most patients undergoing elective PCI remained hospitalized, overnight or more, aiming to detect and possible peri- and post-procedural complications, including access site complications, bleeding, stent thrombosis and peri-procedural myocardial infarction (MI).Currently, there is a demand for a simplified and efficient out-hospital flow, keeping the best practices in hospital services and patient care. Overtime, the improvement of PCI techniques, combined with technological advancement of [...]
